Eminent Expedition Photographer Visits Wilton Library
Veteran explorer and photographer Gordon Wiltsie sometimes laments that magazines like National Geographic usually have sent him on assignments that were cold, miserable or dangerous. But given his extraordinary abilities, they knew he was the person for the job.
By combining photographic talent with a natural aptitude for mountaineering, skiing and other adventure skills Wiltsie quickly evolved into a leader who could organize and photograph over a hundred foreign treks and expeditions to some of the wildest places on earth. Today he is widely recognized as one of his generation’s pre-eminent expedition photographers.
Wiltsie will be interviewed by international documentary photographer and Wilton resident, Daryl Hawk on Wednesday, Jan. 20 from 7-8:30 p.m.. at Wilton Library’s Brubeck Room.
Wiltsie’s pictures and writing have been featured in hundreds of publications around the world. His work has appeared in some of the earliest issues of Outside Magazine; he was a contributing editor for both SKI and Powder, and has created scores of ads and catalogs for companies ranging from Patagonia and The North Face to General Foods and the U.S. Army. He has documented more than a dozen feature stories for National Geographic and its offspring, Adventure; covered multiple topics for the likes of Life, Geo, Travel & Leisure and American Photographer; and illustrated three books by other authors. In 2006 W.W. Norton published Wiltsie’s own critically acclaimed book, To the Ends of the Earth — The Adventures of an Expedition Photographer.
There is no charge to attend, but registration online is encouraged.
